Chapter 222: Strange (2)

"Fourth brother, I can't see anything in my life, only women! That girl is full of tricks, and if you would rather believe her than me, you will regret it. ”

When Zhou Youlin heard this, he said in a cold tone: "I'm already starting to regret it now." I regret that I shouldn't have listened to you here, babbling. ”

Zhou Youwen was not ready to continue to beg him with a dead face, but with a look of hatred, he turned around and left.

Zhou Youlin stared at the drawings on the table angrily, his mood became worse and worse, and suddenly, he suddenly reached out and tore the drawings on the table apart.

He thought he didn't care about Zhou Youwen's nonsense, but unfortunately, he still cared, very concerned.

That afternoon, Qiao Huiyun carried Brother Yun into the palace to ask for peace.

As long as she saw Brother Yun, Meng Xilan's mood would instantly improve.

Brother Yun'er has a sweet mouth and loves to laugh, and everyone loves him.

Zhulu and Zhuqing protected him to play in the yard, while Qiao Huiyun accompanied Meng Xilan to talk.

"Xilan, I'm here today to speak for my father."

Qiao Huiyun saw that there were no outsiders around, and said softly.

"Sister-in-law, please speak." Meng Xilan retracted her gaze and listened with a serious expression.

"Father asked me to tell you that the prince has been restless and short-tempered recently, and he is quite dissatisfied with the repair of the palace, and my father is very worried that he will be above the court and speak disrespectfully."

Halfway through Qiao Huiyun's speech, he saw his son smiling sweetly at him, nodded hurriedly, and continued: "Father has been persuading the prince in the previous dynasty, but he knows very little about the affairs in the palace. Now, Concubine Ning is in power everywhere and is in the same position as the deputy queen. Father is very worried, worried that Concubine Ning will oppress you everywhere and do something you don't want to do. ”

When Meng Xilan heard half of it, she gently held her sister-in-law's hand and said softly, "Concubine Ning's side, I can handle it for the time being." Sister-in-law, the person I'm more worried about is the emperor......"

If it weren't for her own family, she wouldn't have been able to say these words.

Qiao Huiyun's eyebrows condensed slightly: "What's wrong?" ”

Meng Xilan approached lightly and said what she had seen and heard.

Qiao Huiyun was so frightened that she almost screamed, but she was afraid of alarming others, so she endured it.

"This matter, sister-in-law must keep it secret, except for her father, don't mention it to anyone."

Let his father know about this in order to make him take precautions against the emperor's uncertain personality.

Qiao Huiyun clutched his chest, trying to calm his heartbeat.

"It's horrible! Lan'er, she's a queen. ”

Meng Xilan's eyes sank: "Sister-in-law, the terrible things in this palace are far more than this...... Back then, Concubine Xiao also died unexplained. ”

When Qiao Huiyun heard this, her eyebrows moved, and she hurriedly clenched her hand: "Lan'er, this is a big taboo in the palace." ”

Concubine Xiao's past, I don't know how many versions have been passed on inside and outside the palace. The people in the palace didn't dare to say it, but it was lively outside the palace.

Qiao Huiyun has also heard of this.

"Sister-in-law, it's taboo for others, but for me and Chen'er, this is a mystery, a mystery that can't be solved and can't be resigned!"

Qiao Huiyun was already exquisite, and when she said this, she naturally understood the power.

She stared at her, her eyes were distressed and helpless: "Lan'er, why did you do this for the Ninth Master?" Aren't you afraid? ”

Fear? Of course she is afraid, what is the use of being scary?

"Sister-in-law, there is a deep bond between me and the ninth master. Over the years, we have come together, and I don't need to say it, do you know what kind of life he lived in the palace? He has survived until now because he wants to find out the real murderer of his mother! Although, we have a lot of speculation, but we don't have evidence to prove everything. The Ninth Master wants to regain his mother's innocence. I can't stop him, I can only help him. ”

Meng Xilan said what was in her heart with a serious expression.

She didn't know if Qiao Huiyun could understand herself and understand her motives.

Qiao Huiyun's eyes flashed with tears, and she was quiet before she said, "Lan'er, you have your own plans, and I will do as much as I can help you." ”

Meng Xilan smiled gratefully when she heard this: "If my sister-in-law can often bring Brother Yun into the palace to see me, I will be very satisfied." ”

As she spoke, she looked at Brother Yun, who was letting him ride on his neck and reach out to pick plums from the tree.

"Master, Concubine Ning is here...... a little palace maid came over to pass the word, and her tone was slightly worried.

Meng Xilan frowned when she heard this, and hurriedly gave Qiao Huiyun a look and said, "For a while, everything will be as usual, just talk about some homely gossip."

Qiao Huiyun nodded, obviously knowing it.

Murong Qiao came slowly, and heard the child's laughter from a distance.

Brother Yun was having a good time, but Gao Fuli had to put him down, and then knelt on the ground and saluted: "Say hello to Concubine Ning." ”

Meng Xilan and Qiao Huiyun also curts. Murong Qiao smiled slightly: "Get up." Isn't this palace coming at the wrong time? ”

Meng Xilan also smiled back: "Niangniang came just in time." ”

Murong Qiao's eyes turned slightly, and fell on Brother Yun'er's little face, and the smile deepened a little: "How cute this child looks." Come over here, let Hongu take a look. ”

Gao Fuli looked at Brother Yun, who was standing still, and hurriedly reminded: "Little master, hurry up and say hello to Concubine Ning." ”

Brother Yun was still smiling, but when he saw Murong Qiao staring at him, he suddenly took a few steps back in fear.

Murong Qiao's nails were painted red, which made him afraid.

Brother Yun ran into Qiao Huiyun's arms, and said a little timidly: "Mother hug." ”

Seeing this, Qiao Huiyun hurriedly hugged his son and asked Murong Qiao for his guilt. "Don't blame Niangniang, Brother Yun is still young and doesn't understand the rules."

Murong Qiao smiled gently: "Don't kneel without moving, get up and talk." Hongu likes children the most. ”

Brother Yun's cat refused to look up in her mother's arms, and she didn't look at Concubine Ning. He rarely thinks he's so scared of people, but this is the first time he's scared.

Meng Xilan immediately said: "Niangniang, Brother Yun must be sleepy and want to take a nap." You know, little ones are always snooze. ”

"Yes, children can grow taller when they have a full night's sleep. You take him down to sleep first, this palace still has something to say to Xilan. "Murong Qiao doesn't really like Brother Yun, it's just a faΓ§ade.

Qiao Huiyun was just in time to leave with Brother Yun, while Meng Xilan instructed Zhulu to change to a new tea and entertain Murong Qiao.

Murong Qiao had no intention of drinking tea, and said bluntly: "What did you see last time you went to Kunning Palace?" ”

The last time she came back, she had been closed, and she couldn't find time to come to her.

"Niangniang...... Meng Xilan deliberately pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Xilan can't say." ”

Murong Qiao's face changed instantly, and he narrowed his eyes and said, "You don't have to sell anything to this palace." ”

Meng Xilan lowered her eyes slightly: "Xilan is not selling with you, but she doesn't dare to say it." ”

"You have something to say. With this palace here, who can do anything to you? Murong Qiao looked at her with a displeased expression, and suddenly realized that she also had times when she was useless.

"Since Niangniang has to know, then, Xilan has no choice but to tell the truth." Meng Xilan didn't tell her directly, but deliberately made a detour.

Because, she wanted to see Murong Qiao's anxious and uneasy appearance.

Meng Xilan told Murong Qiao about the queen, and she turned white with fright on the spot.

Murong Qiao has been by Zhou Shixian's side for more than twenty years, she never knew that he would do such a thing? He is the emperor, if he wants to die alone, he only needs one sentence. Why did he lynch the queen?

"The queen is completely defeated now, and Niangniang has no strong rivals in the palace from now on, you can rest easy." After a while, Meng Xilan said lightly.

Murong Qiao couldn't be happy when he heard it, he always felt that something was wrong?

"No, if it was really the emperor who did it himself, why did he let you be there?"

The emperor didn't even tell her about this, why did he tell her?

Meng Xilan's heart trembled slightly: "I don't know either." Niangniang, Rong Xilan said more, the emperor has such intentions, presumably he is not worried that Niangniang will know about this. Niangniang and I have always been very close, and there is no reason why I should not tell you. ”

In fact, this is also the most uneasy place in her heart.

If it was Zhou Shixian's purpose to let Murong Qiao know about this, then why did he bother to let her be the messenger?

Murong Qiao felt that her brain was a little messy, she had to slow down and sort out her clues.

Meng Xilan held the teacup in her hand and looked down to count the tea leaves inside, she could imagine how bad her mood was.

Murong Qiao thought about it again and again, but still felt that something was wrong: "No, this palace has to go to Kunning Palace in person." After saying that, she wanted to get up and leave, but after walking a few steps, she turned around again and said, "You go with this palace." ”

Meng Xilan pretended to be shocked and stood up, "I'm going too?" ”

Murong Qiao said in a cold tone: "Yes, you go with this palace." ”

She was vigilant in her heart, but she was afraid that Meng Xilan was deliberately lying, just to let her go to Kunning Palace to find out, and then lay a trap for her.

At the beginning, Li Jieyu was like this, she couldn't help but guard against it.

Meng Xilan did not refuse, and at present, she still needs to be submissive in front of her.

However, what Murong Qiao never expected was that the guards outside Kunning Palace politely blocked her from the door.

Murong Qiao raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "What do you mean by this?" ”

"Back to the noble concubine, Long live Lord has instructed that anyone must enter and leave Kunning Palace without authorization. If you want to go in, then go and ask the emperor's will to come, and your subordinates will definitely let you go! ”

"Presumptuous!" Murong Qiao was about to have a seizure, but was persuaded by Meng Xilan: "Niangniang, it's not appropriate to be angry at this time." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the guard on the other side spoke again: "Your Royal Highness Princess, the emperor himself has decreed that if you come to visit the queen, you can go in." ”

Murong Qiao was immediately annoyed when he heard this, coldly shook off Meng Xilan's hand, stretched out a finger, pointed at her face and said, "What are you?" Why don't you know what this palace doesn't know? This palace can't do things, you do it? What are you? ”

Meng Xilan was slightly stunned by her scolding, but quickly returned to normal, and said in a calm tone: "Niangniang, Xilan doesn't know either." ”

She never thought that she and Murong Qiao would be treated so "differently" by the emperor?
